Now that the GD SBDs have been returned for streaming, the one thing that has not been returned is the TXT files.
Sometimes some of the information from the TXT files is reproduced on the web page itself, but not all.
This is especially necessary in cases where there is more than one shn set for a particular date.
It is hard to do the sort of research that Phil Lesh mentions doing here at LMA, without having the exact particulars of the TXT files to know what you are listening to. The setlists on the web page can be somewhat vague, and in cases such as instrumental jams, it is hard to even know which "song" you are listening to, without the more detailed track info found in the TXT files.
I realized this involves some work to edit each page to add back the .txt link, but since it is only plain text, it clearly violates no prohibition and would be very helpful.
Thanks!

I must be way behind the times if mp4 and mp5 have been around so can someone elaborate and enlighten me on this.

In cryptography, MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. As an Internet standard (RFC 1321), MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. An MD5 hash is typically expressed as a 32-character hexadecimal number.
MD5 was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace an earlier hash function, MD4. In 1996, a flaw was found with the design of MD5; while it was not a clearly fatal weakness, cryptographers began to recommend using other algorithms, such as SHA-1 (which has since been found vulnerable itself). In 2004, more serious flaws were discovered making further use of the algorithm for security purposes questionable.

You can even find the correct one for your fileset by doing an md5 string search. Also, the extended directory names for GD items here typically contain the "shnid" number from the db (there are a few typo/mixups but you can usually figure it out anyway). (AD, I think you've even been over there?)
